Open Depression
Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

I was diagnosed with depression 3 years ago but I think it began long before that. I have been a lot worse than I am now but I'm still not out of the woods yet.

Treatments

Cymbalta Not Working

This was the first med I tried and it made everything 10x worse.

Effexor Working / Worked

I am on this currently and it seems to keep me balanced and able to go about the day-to-day stuff

Lexapro Not Working

This was the worst of all the drugs I have tried, lexapro brought me to the darkest place I have ever been and the closest to suicide

Psychotherapy Working / Worked

I have been in therapy for 3 years and it has certainly made a difference and was what kept going in the darkest of times

Wellbutrin Not Working

I was on wellbutrin for at least a year, it didn't do anything terrible but it didn't do anything good either.

Writing Working / Worked

I find that writing is extremely helpful and have always kept multiple journals.

Neurontin Working / Worked

certainly helps to stabilise and allow you to function but dulls all sense of emotion

Neurontin Somewhat Helpful

I was on zyprexa for a long time, originally prescribed to help with self injury urges, but recently ran out and thus stopped taking it and didn't notice a change at all

I was diagnosed last year and still haven't really figured out what that means for me.
